This page explains how to maintain the Airflow database in your environment.
As the time goes, the Airflow database of your environment stores more and more data. This data includes information and logs related to past DAG runs, tasks, and other Airflow operations.
Limits for database size
If the Airflow database size is more than 16 GB, then you can't upgrade your environment to a later version.
If the Airflow database size is more than 20 GB, it is not possible to create snapshots.
Run the DB maintenance DAG on a schedule
You can use the maintenance DAG to prune the content of your environment's Airflow database:
Run the maintenance DAG periodically to keep the database size within limits. We recommend to run this DAG daily for most environments.
Choose a retention period (
DEFAULT_MAX_DB_ENTRY_AGE_IN_DAYS) that allows keeping the database size within limits. We recommend a period of 30 days as a starting point for most environments.If you observe that the Airflow metadata database size metric increases significantly between runs of the maintenance DAG, consider running this DAG more often.
By default, this DAG removes old entries from job, dag_run,
task_instance, log, xcom, sla_miss, dags, task_reschedule,
task_fail and import_error tables. In the DAG, review the list
of tables and decide whether old entries must be removed from them. In
general, most space savings are provided by cleaning log, task_instance,
dag_run and xcom tables. To exclude a table from cleanup, modify the DAG
and comment corresponding items in the DATABASE_OBJECTS list.
Airflow 2
"""
A maintenance workflow that you can deploy into Airflow to periodically clean
out the DagRun, TaskInstance, Log, XCom, Job DB and SlaMiss entries to avoid
having too much data in your Airflow MetaStore.
## Authors
The DAG is a fork of [teamclairvoyant repository.](
https://github.com/teamclairvoyant/airflow-maintenance-dags/tree/master/db-cleanup
)
## Usage
1. Update the global variables (SCHEDULE_INTERVAL, DAG_OWNER_NAME,
ALERT_EMAIL_ADDRESSES and ENABLE_DELETE) in the DAG with the desired values
2. Modify the DATABASE_OBJECTS list to add/remove objects as needed. Each
dictionary in the list features the following parameters:
- airflow_db_model: Model imported from airflow.models corresponding to
a table in the airflow metadata database
- age_check_column: Column in the model/table to use for calculating max
date of data deletion
3. Create and Set the following Variables in the Airflow Web Server
(Admin -> Variables)
- airflow_db_cleanup__max_db_entry_age_in_days - integer - Length to
retain the log files if not already provided in the conf. If this is set
to 30, the job will remove those files that are 30 days old or older.
4. Put the DAG in your gcs bucket.

Maintain database performance
Airflow database performance issues can lead to overall DAG execution issues. Observe Database CPU and memory usage statistics. If CPU and memory utilization approaches the limits, then the database is overloaded and requires scaling.
If you use the XCom mechanism to transfer files, make sure that you use it according to Airflow's guidelines. Transferring big files or a large number of files using XCom impacts Airflow database's performance and can lead to failures when loading snapshots or upgrading your environment. Consider using alternatives such as Cloud Storage to transfer large volumes of data.
Remove entries for unused DAGs
You can remove database entries for unused DAGs by removing DAGs from the Airflow UI.
